Kent State Shootings: Digital Archive

Audio Recording: Cassette Tape: May 4 Coalition Meeting

Description The first side of the cassette contains a brief recording taken on May 3, 1976 during what seems to be an event associated with the Annual Commemoration of the Kent State shootings. The event is overlayed with narration by Rowe, as he makes notes and observations on the event. The bulk of the recording is a meeting of the May 4 Coalition on July 21, 1977. Rowe states the date is July 21, 1976, but the May 4 Coalition likely did not exist then (the tape is labeled with the date July 21, 1977).
